Default very low compression cylinder,but no blowby,what could it be?

compression reads 140-65-150-150,and my car dont smoke at all,the reason i checked it,was cause my idle and when i drive it,it flutters,sounds like a evo or wrx or something,and this recently just happend,could it be my rings,ringlands,valve seals,or what.Anybody have a clue what it might be?

If theres no blowby then its going out the top end. Either bent or burnt valve, basically the valve isnt sealing.
